MONA DELPHI A P0LYANDR1 I 



A native of New Holland, lately intro- 

 duced : it is a fast growing, soft wooded 

 shrub, bearing magnificent flowers, which 

 with us came out in April ; but in its na- 

 tive country, where it grows to twenty feet 

 high, it is said to continue most part of the 

 year covered with flowers. 



It may be increased by cuttings or seeds, 

 and should be planted in loam and peat, and 

 preserved in a warm greenhouse.
